The Planetarium

At the Academy of Sciences, they have this theater where you sit in half-reclined seats and stare at the dome-shaped screen, across which they plaster images of the solar system, of the galaxies, of the universe.

(I googled "the universe" for that image. 

The first few pictures that popped up looked like this. 

Then there was a picture of people in zero-G, 

with a fairy creature floating around them. I picked this one.)

It's all digitized and theoretical, but it still makes me wonder why all of that would be out there.

When the Un-created created us--humans with a beginning from a Being without-- why did He make the rest of it? Where did he get that idea? And are we the only ones He made?

What if He made a bunch of others like us, scattered across the universe's expanse? Why not? Why can't there be hundreds of thousands of humanoid creatures in other galaxies? I don't know if He would have made those other galaxies just because he thought they would be pretty.

And what would it be like to be without origin? To just always have been? To be the very essence of the word "always"?

How does something just always exist? I suppose that, being a Created being, I am supposed to find it incomprehensible. Maybe it's because my existence relies on a moment of creation.

I still wish I could get my head around it.
